Flying with an expired license

Post date: 2019-12-12 05:28:41

My birthday is December 28, and that's the day my drivers' license expires. I'm flying domestically on the 23rd and returning the 31st. I can get through the license renewal process before I leave, but I'm not at all sure I will have the new license. Is this a problem? Previous Asks on this are either different or very old.

The TSA page confuses me. It says that you can travel on an expired license for up to 12 months, but then it also seems to say you need two other pieces of ID, including photo. I have no other photo ID. In fact, I have no other ID of any kind except a passport that expired literally decades ago.

I assume I'll get something indicating I've renewed my license. Will that be enough?

Aside from trying to get my license renewed as quickly as possible, is there anything else I can or should do?
